Algebra, chapter IV, § 6. Symmetric functions

a) If I is a finite set of n elements, then φI\varphi_I induces a bicontinuous isomorphism of A[[S1,…,Sn]]A[[S_1, \ldots, S_n]] onto A[[X]]symA[[X]]^{\text{sym}}.

b) If I is infinite, φI\varphi_I is a bicontinuous isomorphism of A[[S]]A[[S]] onto A[[X]]symA[[X]]^{\text{sym}}.

In case a) we put B=A[[S1,…,Sn]]B = A[[S_1, \ldots, S_n]] and equip this algebra with the topology induced by that of A[[S]]A[[S]]; we also denote by ψI\psi_I the restriction of φI\varphi_I to B. In case b) we put B=A[[S]]B = A[[S]] and ψI=φI\psi_I = \varphi_I. We shall equip the polynomial algebra A[S]A[S] with the graduation of type N for which SkS_k is of weight k for every integer k≥1k \geq 1.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
